Synopsis

Is there a treasure hidden somewhere in the big house next door? That’s what eleven-year-old Pam has to find out, at the request of the little old lady who lives there. And that’s not the only puzzle that Pam has to solve this summer. For instance, is she seeing things, or is that her stolen bicycle being ridden around town by some strange, fair-haired girl? And why on earth is the old woman at the candy shop where Pam is working so incredibly mean to her? Pam begins to unravel all of these mysteries with the help of two new friends, and discovers a whole lot more than she bargained for. By the time she’s solved them all, Pam is a changed person, and the very meaning of the word “treasure” has changed for her forever.
